TV Shows and the "Coming Up" Tease Before Commercial Breaks

Am I the only one who can't stand these? Do they do it just to fill time? Between 4 commercial breaks, the previously on segment, and the next episode segment, that's a good 5 minutes that could have been devoted to more air time.

I hate when they do it on impractical jokers

VH1 perfected this in the 90's with their behind the music series. You have four commercial breaks in the hour. You do a "coming up" tease at the end of each segment and a "recap" at the start of each segment. If each tease/recap is :60, that's eight minutes less footage and content that you have to come up with. Throw in your opening and end titles and you've got 20% of your show that is recycled content.

Not to mention when they come in from the commercial break they repeat what they teased you with.

I didn't even realize I had made 10k. Hell's Kitchen does this a lot too. I can't grab the remote fast enough.

You are not alone. It drives me crazy.
